This game is looked forward to each year by football fans across the state and this year was no exception. However this year was complete domination by Boyle County as they defeated Lexington Catholic by a score of 64-28 going to a running clock at 57-21 at 9:23 left in the third quarter. Tonight most of the pre-game hype was about Lexington Catholic QB Beau Allen who threw for 308 yards and two touchdowns and ran for another touchdown. However, the stars of stars tonight were on the Boyle County side as vastly underrated QB Reed Lanter put on a show with 24of 28 passes completed for 496 yards and five touchdowns and ran for another touchdown. Do-it-all athlete Reese Smith caught eight passes for 276 yards and three touchdowns, carried the ball once for 38 yards and a touchdown, and recorded five solo tackles. This victory was accomplished without the services of Landen Bartleson who has already committed to Notre Dame. Also kudos to Reed Lanter’s brother Cole Lanter who caught five passes for 84 yards and two touchdowns, returned three kickoffs for 76 yards, and recorded four solo tackles.
